how i can get Pattern: Cindercloth Vest

only from that elete ?

Comment by ttsaypra

Killed about 20 of these guys and 5 dropped. I guess that the drop rate is about 20 %

Comment by ZekkDistor

Half an hour of farming them (there are lots of them west of Thorium point) gave me three patterns for the cindercloth gloves, but no pattern for the vest yet. Although the droprate seems to be the same according to Wowhead, I think the gloves might drop more :P

Comment by Eldente

Three and a half hours of farming them gave me exactly 0 patterns. Can someone confirm whether this still drops post-4.2?

Comment by Agonee

For a half an hour I got 119 of them. (Killing everyone looting only Guards. Unfortunately mobs cant respawn fast enough)So to get it you need to spend 8 full hours at least. Im in mine 14th now :(

Comment by HypnoticFish

The pattern for the vest isn't listed in the armory anymore, also Wowpedia says that both the vest and the glove pattern haven't dropped from Twilight Fire Guards since the Cataclysm :(www.wowpedia.org/Twilight_Fire_Guard

Edit: Unlike the EU Armory, it is listed in the US one, but with no source.

Comment by Some1sAngel

I spoke with a GM and it was confirmed that the Cindercloth Vest Pattern is still active within the game files.

Comment by hatchettwit

A GM has confirmed it should drop in Searing Gorge, however that their information may be out of date. Please post on this forum thread if you'd like to see this item drop again instead of hunting down tailors that learned it pre-cata.

Comment by icebeard7

I got it to drop post CATA, not sure if it was pre or post 4.1 patch.

Not 100% sure, but I believe it actually dropped from a Firewalker (Thaurissan Firewalker), while I was farming for the Cindercloth cloak pattern. I clearly remember the cloak pattern was the third different Cindercloth pattern that the mob dropped for me.

Funny thing, is that I farmed and learned this on one of my alts. Who knew it was that valuable...

Comment by Agonee

Killed 3000+. Got 2 Purples. No Vest no Gloves

Comment by Sincerity

Contacted a GM about this pattern, and received this statement.

"Hey there!

Just wanted to let you know that the pattern in question is no longer available in the game. D:"

Comment by sweetzz

Bought this today on the AH for 5g on Cairne. I have to think that it was a recent drop, otherwise the price would have been much higher if someone had been holding onto it for a while.

edit: I'd been farming it for a while off and on with my tailor, so I knew it was a steal the moment I saw it. Either that or they've increased the drop rate in the last patch.

Comment by Stargutter

I don't know if this may shed some light on the drop rate but this is the answer I got from a GM:

" Greetings Eriksón

Thank you for contacting the World of Warcraft Game Master department. I apologize for the delay in response, and that I was unable to contact you personally regarding this issue.

Rest assured that this item is still in the game and at this time, the drop is functioning correctly. Please bear in mind that loot is randomly generated from a pool of potential items when a mob is killed, thus, it is possible for a specific item to show up several times, or not at all. Since items have different drop rates, the process is somewhat similar to trying to roll a '1' on dice of differing sizes, or flipping a coin trying to get it to come up heads. The lower the drop rate, the more sides to the dice, and the less likely it is that it would come up as a '1.' Similarly, though unlikely (since, statistically, a person flipping the coin has a much greater chance than a person rolling the die), it is entirely possible for the person rolling the die to get a '1' five times in a row, and the person flipping the coin to have it come up 'tails' five times in a row. Another person rolling that same die may need to roll it 50 times before rolling a '1.'

Essentially, it all boils down to patience and luck. The more you kill the mob, the more likely it becomes for a specific item to drop, even if it hasn't shown up yet. Just hang in there! ^^"

Comment by OreoKitKat

All I've gotten so far is like THOUSANDS of Mageweave, some grays, and cheese. I might be able to live out my life with these items. I'll report back to tell you all about the chaos.

Comment by kirunoku

Put in a ticket and got a response from a GM.

This pattern IS still available in the game. It just has a very low drop rate and is quoted as "very rare".

Back to farming this starting today :)

Comment by Runekeeper

i found this pattern in the AH today (patch 5.0.4). hopefully this means it still drops

Comment by Twodotsonekb

Bought this on Proudmoore-US for 100g, wondered why it was so expensive so I checked here AND LOOKS LIKE I GOT AN AMAZING DEAL LOL :D

Comment by Jayrai

For those who have farmed and successfully gotten the recipe, could you post the month and year that you found yours, if possible? :) Should help give others hope, who are farming for this.

I really hope it hasn't been taken out of the game. It's a unique piece and I would love to have it for transmogrification on my warlock!

Good luck to all who are after this.Make sure to check the auction house from time to time!

Comment by Kishire

I spoke with a GM today regarding this item and I was told that it does in fact still drop, just has a crazy low drop rate. However, the GM would not confirm whether or not it is still dropped by the Twilight Fire Guards in Searing Gorge, but at least knowing that the item still exists in game is good enough for me I suppose. Back to farming since I can't find it on the AH on my server :(

Comment by Saph92

So, I'm playing WoW during patch 5.2 Rise of the Thunder King. I've been farming this pattern for a loooooong time. I was growing desperate and I looked on the auction house. Some fool had put up three patterns for 49.000 gold buyout each. I whispered the person and asked why he put it up for so much. He claimed that "it's no longer in the game". I didn't want to believe it, since I had been farming for such a long time, I didn't want my effort be useless.

I decided to messege a GM about it.This is the response I got; puu.sh/2fOL3

So don't be discouraged. According to the GM, the pattern is STILL in the game. Happy farming and good luck!

Comment by Sicrosis

Just farmed them for about 2 hours. Still no drop. But I wont give up!

Comment by PunterHunter

so I ticketed a gm about this recipe asking for a little more enlightenment on the subject, either for or against the recipes disappearance

according to this particular game-master, the event of the removal of this recipe was a bug in the programing and hints that it may go a little deeper then just flipping a switch to fix it. She/He claims it was never Blizzard's intention to remove the recipe in question and they are endeavoring to bring it back to us as soon as they can.

(edited due to typo.)

Comment by jrgwarman

12 total hours of farming over 2 months. Bags full of mageweave cloth, one or two greens per run, but no recipe.

Comment by Aubby

As of today 12/06/2013 at 21:00 central time. this item is buged. I talked to a GM and he stated that it was reported in 2012 and they are still trying to fix it. Bummer cuz this is a great looking transmog.

Comment by FuneralBot

I messaged a GM about this also because i farmed for it for a long time and no drops. After a lot of reading that it might have been removed i got a message back from a GM that it is still in the game.

"Hey there, Game Master ******* here, hope your day is going well! :D

I understand you have some questions about the Cindercloth Recipes. After looking into this it seems like they're still in the game. :]

Comment by Chumly123

Hi, id also like to confirm that a GM has told me that the pattern is in the game.

"I double checked and it seems like this is an active item.""Though it does have a pretty low drop rate it looks like."

Ironically after only 4 hours of farming i advertised in trade that i was looking for a tailor that has a rare pattern and lo and behold after 5 seconds the first person to link me their tailoring had the vest...so i got it and tipped him 1.5k gold

:D

Comment by Revlon1

I have an available pattern for sale. This is a rare pattern, it has only dropped twice for me in seven years. Of course I wasn't farming for it, however it is still very rare, from at least what I've been reading. If you want the pattern contact Revlon on Duskwood.

Comment by CainePipe

I have bought two in the last few months on a low volume auction house - I learned the first and the second (300 gp) will marinate for a while in the bank. Very sorry I didn't note the seller to ask if it dropped from a Firegut Brute or anythign else recently. Third time's the charm?

Comment by Sarsoman

A GM confirmed to me that the pattern is indeed still in the game but confirmed it's got a very low drop rate, but did mention its drop rate is on par with Ashes of Al'ar.

Comment by Panyk

Just spoke with a GM. Pattern is no longer in the game. Farmed for nothing :)

Comment by Sarsoman

This pattern finally showed up on my servers AH a few weeks back and I just about had a heart attack (I'd personally never seen it on the AH and it hadn't even shown up on my server in over 5 months), it didn't have a buyout so had to wait 48 hours and ended up getting into a bidding war with at least three other people (it was being talked about it trade chat), I ended up winning it for 93k. Yes, 93k, that's how much I wanted it.. Won't ever regret it!

Comment by wowdoge

Some fool put two of these on the AH for 9 gold at Alleria. Bought both and may sell one for a higher price. Does it drop again as of 6.2.2?

Comment by blurfox

If you're farming the pattern, note that Twilight Fire Guard share the spawn with the others "Twilight" mobs in the area (or so it seems to me after 3 days of farming), so to make more mob spawn the best way is to kill every Twilight mob, not only the Fire Guards.Still waiting for the pattern, though... Sob :(

Comment by Oshio

Today I contacted a GM to ask if this is still in-game since there are VERY mixed comments on the internet. It IS still there, like other comments have said, the droprate is just really low.

Comment by BanaanNLD

Talked to a GM. GM told me to this day that they fixed the bug but the fix bugged the item again. so it is not possible to obtain this item at this moment. Here is what the GM told me:

Just letting you know that I've been looking through this issue, I'm afraid it doesn't look as if the Game Masters or myself could verify any issues or bugs here nor do we have any on record. I just wanted to let you know that we've gathered as much info as possible and escalated it up to our Developers and QA team for an investigation.

Sadly there isn't any ETA on this as it will require a lot of testing to figure out if this is indeed a bug and if it can be reproduced and fixed, but keep an eye on the bug post below for updates in the near future as well as any patch-notes :)► http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/5207822310

Thanks again for reporting this up, really sorry I couldn't get this sorted right now for you :( sadly just out of my power, looks like it would deffo need a higher level investigation.

The GM told me that the pattern does not have an assignt mob to drop it. i hope i have helped you. sorry for some bad english GL and HF Tmogging guys!

Comment by Swatcher

Acknowledging how many have been on the AH on all US realms (Regional Daily Summary) over the last year, say today there is 45 available over the US realms average about 50k each, then we can hypotheses that these items are still available in game.
